Description

This two-bedroom stone-built cottage is set in the centre of Dalston, with views across the Green at the front and a generous garden backing onto the Show Field. The accommodation includes a lounge with an electric fire and staircase, a fitted kitchen retaining an original cast iron oven, a rear hall, a ground-floor shower room and a rear porch. Upstairs are a double bedroom with built-in storage and a smaller second bedroom. Gas central heating is served by a recently fitted combi boiler, according to the listing. Outside, there is a small forecourt garden and a larger lawned rear garden with pedestrian access towards the front. Street parking is available nearby. The property is described as needing updating, offering scope for a purchaser to refresh the interiors and garden. Dalston’s shops, schools, medical practice, pubs and railway station are within walking distance, with access to Carlisle and the surrounding area. The stated tenure is freehold and the council tax band is B.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

50out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This is a light, manageable update project with a distinctive stone-built cottage, a lounge that appears usable, and an original cast-iron range that gives the kitchen character. The dated finishes, worn flooring and overgrown rear garden offer clear scope to refresh the interiors and make more of the generous garden; the recently fitted combi boiler is a useful head start. The setting by the village Green, with views to the front and Show Field views from the rear, adds to the appeal.

The score is 50/100, grade D: the project has genuine potential, but the overall opportunity is not especially strong on the available numbers. Floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged, and the purchase-plus-renovation midpoint is about £184,750 without enough information to assess residual value. The stated renovation range is £6,500–£13,000.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated interior finishes while retaining the lounge’s exposed beam and decorative fireplace.
  • Clear and maintain the generous rear garden, making better use of its outlook over the Show Field.
  • Preserve the original cast-iron range as a distinctive feature of the kitchen.
